Mico

A 4½-year-old male Mini Rex rabbit,

Ten-second commercial: From spunky to mushy, his personality will instantly charm you. He found his forever home and friend and he’s my constant joy.

Significance of his name: A Nicaraguan tour guide once told me Mico—pronounced Mee-coh—is the cutest little monkey with a black-and-white face.

Why a bunny: Bunnies are not boring. They have spunky personalities, inquisitive minds, and a love for being loved.

Most afraid of: Long car rides.

Best trick: Begging.

Sweetest habit: He loves his snuggles with me so much that at times he drools, makes snuffle noises while his teeth are chattering, and best of all, he smiles showing his teeth. I call it ‘cheese’ because that’s what his biggest and happiest grin looks like.

At night he sleeps: In his cage.

Most annoying habit: Scratching his cage and ringing his bell every morning to wake me up before 6:30 am.

Fave pastime: Watching movies.

On his iPod: ABBA and most of the songs from all the Wii ‘Just Dance’ games. He loves to dance.

Favorite toys: Cardboard boxes. He loves to crunch into them and tear them to little pieces.

Preferred nosh: Banana. He’ll do anything for a piece of one.

Thinks he is: A prince or the most awesome little guy in the world.

Special talents: He does commands such as standing up, walking on his hind paws, going back to his cage, and giving kisses.

He hates: When I travel. When I come home, he’ll usually try to ignore me; however, I just pick him up and give him hugs and kisses, and he melts into my arms making little noises of happiness.

Most oddball behavior: If you go to the bathroom, he will follow you. If you close the door, he will scratch at the door until you let him inside.

Naughtiest behavior: Although litter-box-trained, he purposely peed and pooped on my ex-boyfriend and all around his place.
